Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 25, 2012 12:28 am Hi all, I was out at our house build the other day & noticed that we had copper pipes in the kitchen but the piping that went to the bathroom etc through the roof was a hard looking grey plastic. Is this right,i thought all the water pipes were copper. Also the hot water unit to the kiddies bathroom,powder room,laundry is on the wall outside between 2 kiddies bedrooms & the pipes have been put into a cutout in the brick work to 1 bedrooms inner wall. Is this right I can go out & take photo's if no-one has any idea what i'm talking about cheers kat Block bought 1st RBC X! 2nd Ventrua,Keeper!
